benefishiary

A thieving bird, reptile, or mammal that swipes an angler's catch while his back is turned.
I always bring a large old-fashioned metal drink-cooler to store my catch in, so that some winged or four-legged meal-marauder doesn't become the benefishiary of my hard-won fillets!

fracketeering

Shady fraudulent dealings that Big Oil engages in to acquire approval for hydraulic mining.
I hear that X-on and other greedy "big biz" corporations are paying humongous bribes to government officials for permits to hydraulically mine for oil and other valuable resources, even in places where such operations are dangerous to the environment... sounds like a classic case of fracketeering to me.

formalady

A dumb-a** illness dat you have to be suffering from --- or at least to claim to be afflicted wif --- in order for da receptionist to have something to scribble down on da appointment form so dat you can be admitted for a medical exam or consultation.
Charlie Brown asked to speak to da school pediatrician regarding his having voted to ban a certain children's book, but Charlie was told dat said physician was too busy to just see him right off like dat; he therefore concluded dat he would need to have a health-complication first in order to be admitted. Luckily, da doctor subsequently did agree to speak wif Charlie without said formalady's being necessary.

Refers to da substitute-for-grumbling-at-a delay vocal action dat you engage in while unexpectedly/unavoidably having to wait for something basic or mundane to occur, such as for equipment to warm up, someone to answer da phone, a web-page to load on an internet-computer, etc. Great for when you're either babysitting children (for whom soft singing is often an effectively-calming/soothing way of "placating them for a few" till a desired action/event can happen) or presently have one or more adult-colleagues there who need certain actions and/or information-locating performed on their behalf, and so you are sympathetically showing them dat you hate having to be held up, as well, just da same as they do.
Everyone loves da catchy "Alex Trebek waiting for da contestants to think of an answer" melody, so performing a round of "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold can work wonders to make everyone feel less grumpy/impatient at having to take a little longer than normal for something they want to happen.

a brief resprite

A short break where you imbibe a fizzy beverage from a green can or dimpled plastic bottle.
On hot days I like to take a brief resprite every hour or two when working outdoors.

Text and/or speech produced by someone who claims to be a "really good and decent guy", but whose words clearly convey da opposite message.
